What is an abrasive file used for?
An abrasive file removes small amounts of metal, wood, or plastic to smooth edges and shape parts.
Which grit abrasive file should I choose?
Use coarse 40–80 grit for heavy removal, medium 100–150 grit for shaping, and fine 180–240 grit for final finishes.
Can I use abrasive files on hardened steel?
Yes. Select a silicon‑carbide or diamond‑grit file rated for hardened steel.
How do I clean an abrasive file?
Brush the face with a wire brush, tap out dust, and rinse with solvent if resin blocks the grit.
How long does an abrasive file last?
A quality file keeps its cut for many tasks; replace it when strokes feel smooth and material removal slows.
